[PATCH] gitk "parent information" in commit window

This adds a useful "Parent:" line to the git commit information window.

It looks something like this (from the infamous octopus merge):

	    Octopus merge of the following five patches.

	      Update git-apply-patch-script for symbolic links.
	      Make git-prune-script executable again.
	      Do not write out new index if nothing has changed.
	      diff-cache shows differences for unmerged paths without --cache.
	      Update diff engine for symlinks stored in the cache.

where all the parent commit ID's are clickable, because the new lines are
added as part of the "comment" string, and thus the regular clickability
thing will match them automatically.

I think this is good. And my random-tcl-monkey-skills are clearly getting
better (although it's perfectly possible that somebody who actually knows
what he is doing would have done things differently).
